Experiment 3

This experiment is organized as follows. 
The memory task program (Exp3_Program.py) needs to be ran while all the stimuli (both word-lists and probes) are in the same folder as the Python program.
The program saves the user's data in an Excel file; therefore, the user needs to set up the name of the Excel file within the Python program prior to running it. 

Once all participants' data are gathered, obtain the pooled frequencies (n1, n2, n3, n4) for each probe and attempt number (see phase3_all_data.xls, which contains all individual participants' data as well). 
These pooled frequencies will be used to obtain the model parameter estimates for both the event-order model and the item-storage model.

In order to obtain the model estimates, first run the R code in Monte_Carlo_Setup.txt. 

Enter the values for n1, n2, n3, and n4 in the R code in Event_Order_PPM.txt only if these pooled frequencies come from the NU and FU probes, and then run the program in R. 
Enter the values for n1, n2, n3, and n4 in the R code in Item_Storage_PPM.txt only if these pooled frequencies come from the questions that contain foil items.

You can then obtain the average estimate for each parameter, along with their standard deviations:
- For the Event-Order Model: theta_3C, theta_2C, theta_1C, and theta_N;
- For the Item-Storage Model: theta_Si, theta_Fi, theta_f2, and theta_Ni.

The estimates we obtained for each probe are included in the file phase3_all_data.xls.
